Winter mood pic. We’re in the odd place where it’s warm but the trees are still winter bare.

Still, the morning walk was refreshing.

Currently focused on composing new music. Music helps me to process my thoughts and feelings. And I sure have a lot of ‘em in these troubled times.

I give myself permission to grieve and I do it through poetry and music. That’s what creativity is for, that expression of soul.

As I think things over and look at the big picture, I feel the saying We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience is profoundly true. ¹

What matters most in life is not the material; that’s only a theater play, an illusion that at the end collapses. What matters is the spirit, the soul, whatever you call the numinous, ineffable part of existence.
